2.3.2 Operation
The WRM-2 Repeater is a compact unit used to repeat signals from and to remote units when
PAM-TRX units must operate outside the normal range of the base unit and there are no
network connection points between the remotes and the base.
Repeaters will reduce the amount of available over the air space when remote units transmit
data within range of both the base and the repeater (the base will receive two data packets).
Care must be taken when installing repeaters.
CAUTION: Only one repeater is recommended between the base and the remote
units.
Note: If multiple repeaters are needed for very long range coverage, the repeaters have been
programmed with MESH technology to simple deployment without special addressing or
configurations. The MESH Repeater are factory configured and ready to use.

2.3.3 Settings
Following factory configuration, no special settings are required to operate the repeater. The
radio must be configured to operate in the same frequency and channel as the Base and PAM-
TRX. The DT parameter is factory configured to the last four digits of the device serial
number. dddddcdcccd
The unit is normally powered by an external DC power supply in the 7.0 to 15.0 DC, 0.5 Amps
range. MGPI provides a specially designed power supply (the same as used for the base) with a
lockable connector for improved reliability.
